The paper gives a detailed account of archaeological and historical research into early Christianity in Slovenia, which has greatly advanced in both fields and yielded important results. The author has written a critical research report, evaluated the research success and pointed out the weaknesses of these research studies. Thus this publication does not merely present a commented (more or less complete) bibliography, but also places our research studies alongside research performed in the neighbouring countries and in the European context.

This original scientific paper discusses the only known Carolingian deed for the Slovene territory south of the Karavanke mountain range and the Drava River. It has been proved that it was falsified in the very section that mentions the estate along the Slovene Sava River.

This article discusses the social network surrounding the first editor of the Slovenian women’s journal, Slovenka (1897–1902). The authors present the people who created Slovenka and the common interests that connected them. To establish this network, the correspondence to the editorial board of Slovenka and the correspondence of its editor, Marica Nadlišek, were analysed. In addition to these archival materials, the available correspondence of Slovenka’s contributors was examined. In this research, the emancipatory strategies used by the leading Slovenian women of the first of wave feminism in the Slovenian territory can be recognised. Furthermore, the research highlights aspects of the emotional culture and the concept of friendship that developed around the young and progressive part of Slovenian intelligentsia at the turn of the 20th century.

This book touches upon a topic yet undiscussed in Slovene historiography, i.e. the realisation of the so-called new eastern policy of the Foreign Minister of West Germany and Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt. His path of "change through rapprochement", i.e. of easing the tension between both Germanies and within Europe, which had been divided into blocs, earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 1971. That is why Brandt is justifiably considered one of the charismatic chancellors of West Germany. This new eastern policy, which resulted in a number of bilateral agreements with Eastern European countries, including the GDR, in a way bore the first fruits by settling=re-establishing diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia, which had been severed by the provisions of the Hallstein Doctrine of 1957. This policy enabled the solving of the most important problems between both countries, in particular the settling of the issue of compensation for Nazi crimes committed in Yugoslavia. Of special importance for Slovene history is the fact that Slovene diplomats, politicians and high officials also had a visible role in these diplomatic and political events and co-shaped them. Among them were Rudi Čačinovič, Anton Bebler, Anton Vratuša, Stane Dolanc, Željko Jeglič, Mitja Vošnjak, Marko Vrhunec etc.

The paper systematically discusses the twenty years of Slovenia's development following its attainment of independence, from its parting with Yugoslavia to its last economic crisis, by individual subjects (parties and elections, privatisation, denationalisation, the economic and political system, the media, religion, civil society, international relations and other topics). The author analyses the achievements of the twenty years of development and the economic, political and social reasons why Slovenia found itself in a crisis and lost the advantage it had had over comparable countries, particularly over those from the former Eastern European bloc. In the introductory part the writer also discusses Slovene independence, which was attained only after lengthy political conflicts with the federation and in the end also by a successful armed revolt in the ten-day war against the Yugoslav Army. A truce was reached with intervention from the European Community of the time. The continuation of the war in other parts of the former common state and the decision of Badinter's Commission that Yugoslavia had disintegrated and that those republics that fulfil the terms for independence can apply for international recognition, resulted in the recognition of Slovenia by the European Community in January 1992, and later on by the great powers and other countries. Since the great powers and the European Community did not favour the disintegration of Yugoslavia and Slovenia’s attainment of independence, the struggle for international recognition was difficult and at first highly uncertain, dependent on numerous international circumstances upon the end of the Cold War and on events in the EU summit, especially in the wake of the Maastricht Treaty.
